Precautions
Discs that this unit CAN play
 Audio CD
 CD-R/CD-RW (CD-DA*)
* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a
recording standard used for Audio CDs.
Discs that this unit CANNOT play
 CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD
format
 CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW
that has scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-RW recorded
with an incompatible recording device
 CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly
Notes on discs
 Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out. If there is a scratch,
dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking
error.
 Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
 Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in
direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
 Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the
surface of the CD.
 After playing, store the CD in its case.
On safety
 As the laser beam used in the CD player section is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
 Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
 Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so
may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.
On power sources
 For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do
not use any other type.
 The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.
 Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not used
for an extended period of time.
 When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to
avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.
 The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located at the bottom.
On placement
 Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources,
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock or in a car subject to the direct rays
of the sun.
 Do not place the unit on an inclined or unstable place.
 Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the
cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for
the unit to operate properly and prolong the life of its
components.
 Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep
personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
On operation
 If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the CD player section.
Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
Cleaning the cabinet
 Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or
solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless
technology linking digital devices, such as personal
computers and digital still cameras. Using the Bluetooth
wireless technology, you can operate the units involved
within a range of about 10 meters.
The Bluetooth wireless technology is commonly
used between two devices, but a single device can be
connected to multiple devices. *
You do not need wires to get connected as you do with
a USB connection, and you do not need to place the
devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared
technology. You can use the technology with one
Bluetooth device in your bag or pocket.
Bluetooth wireless technology is a global standard
supported by thousands of companies. These companies
produce products that meet the global standard.
* This unit cannot be connected to multiple devices.
Supported Bluetooth version and profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various
Bluetooth product capabilities. This unit supports the
following Bluetooth version and profiles.
Supported Bluetooth version:
Bluetooth Standard version 2.0
Supported Bluetooth profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)
Effective communication range
Bluetooth devices should be used within approximately
10 meters (unobstructed distance) of each other. The
effective communication range may become shorter
under the following conditions.
 When a person, metal object, wall or other
obstruction is between the devices with a Bluetooth
connection
 Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
 Around microwave ovens that are in use
 Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur
Effects of other devices
 Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g)
use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using
your Bluetooth device near a device with wireless LAN
capability, electromagnetic interference may occur.
This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or
inability to connect. If this happens, try the following
remedies:
 Try connecting this unit and Bluetooth mobile phone
or Bluetooth device when you are at least 10 meters
away from the wireless LAN equipment.
 Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment
when using your Bluetooth device within 10 meters.
 The radio waves broadcast by this unit may interfere
with the operation of some medical devices. Since this
interference may result in malfunction, always turn off
the power on this unit, Bluetooth mobile phone and
Bluetooth device in the following locations:
 In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations,
and any place where flammable gasses may be
present
 Near automatic doors or fire alarms
Notes
 This unit supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth
specification as a means of ensuring security during communication
using Bluetooth technology. However, this security may be
insufficient depending on the setting contents and other factors, so
always be careful when performing communication using Bluetooth
technology.
 Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss
resulting from information leaks during communication using
Bluetooth technology.
 Bluetooth communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all
Bluetooth devices that have the same profile as this unit.
 Bluetooth devices connected with this unit must comply with the
Bluetooth specification prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and
must be certified to comply. However, even when a device complies
with the Bluetooth specification, there may be cases where the
characteristics or specifications of the Bluetooth device make it
impossible to connect, or may result in different control methods,
display or operation.
 Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the
Bluetooth device connected with this unit, the communications
environment, or surrounding conditions.
